Monstrum Marinum | Siren!Rafayel x Reader
"The Dark Sea is no ordinary sea," the old woman continued. "Its waves are as black as night, and it stretches far and wide, so deep that not even the sun's light can reach its depths. But that's not the worst of it, oh no. For beneath those waves, there are monsters-terrible, dreadful creatures that would freeze your blood if you were ever to lay eyes on them."

He watched her from the ocean's veil,
A creature wrought from myth and sea,
His love, a secret, soft and frail,
Yet in her gaze, he longed to be.
She knew him not, as days went by,
That eyes so wild could turn so tender,
She danced beneath the starlit sky,
While he, unseen, became her mender.
He shaped his voice to earthly sound,
His form to walk where mortals tread,
Yet in his soul, the sea was bound,
Its ancient call filled him with dread.
Alone she stands, with heart undone,
A lonely maid upon the sand,
shells do lay broken in hand,
The sea sings low of what's begun,
A war of hearts, flesh, and blood.
